Change your CoffeeScript file's extension from .js.coffee to .js.coffee.erb. After that you can do this(wherever you want to use images that are present in your assets/images directory:

'<%= asset_path 'rails.png' %>'

Note the single-quote: ', it is important because URL would be: /assets/rails.png and you would want it to present as a string. This saves you time of figuring out why you're getting some weird JavaScript undefined constant error.
